.JIC file Generation

Finaly I got the Clue how to get my NIOS into a jic for our factory ...

It took quite a while and I'm wondering why so few people have this issue ... anyway ...

1.) Start the flash-programmer in the NIOS-IDE (we need the flash file, you may just run the sh-script as well ...)

2.) Start nios command shell and switch to the Release Directory

3.) Copy the fpga.flash and the software.flash -srec into one single srec-file ...

[NiosII EDS]$cat Quartus_Project_Revison.flash >merge.flash

[NiosII EDS]$cat epcs_controller.flash >>merge.flash

3.) convert it to intel-hex for programming file convertor in Quartus

[NiosII EDS]$ nios2-elf-objcopy.exe -I srec -O ihex -v emerge.flash merge.hex

4.) Use Quartus -> File -> Convert Programming File ...

select output: *.jic , select your epsc, outputfilename,

select flash-loader for your device

remove sof-entry

add hex file (merge.hex, absolute)

Generate ...

5.)programm with the quartus-programmer :-)

PS:

Girls&Boys from Altera: INCLUDE THIS SCRIPT SOMEWHERE IN 9.1 !!!

I would like to automaticaly integrate this into the Build/Flash Progress, ...
